You're so weird

I thought it might be fun to confess things about ourselves that others would probably find weird or funny. It can be sex related or not, your choice. In the spirit of keeping things moving and giving folks time to react, let's try to keep it to one or two things at a time, to avoid tldr essays on every weird thing about you...you can just add new ones, as you remember more things that you need to confess.

I binge-watch random people camping on YouTube. Literal hours.

I put ketchup on fried eggs.
 
I've worn all black-down to shoes, boxers, socks and even the chain around my neck since I was in my early teens. When I have to dress up, I have the Johnny Cash black on black-on-black look. Gray is considered a color to me.

All of my tattoos are black ink except for the one I got last month that's a black tribal wolf design but with a purple cancer ribbon in the center of it and some purple in the black flames.

A year ago, I wore a pink long sleeved t-shirt under a white cancer walk shirt for the company's cancer support day and people were doing double takes when I walked by.

You sound like a burning ring of fire 🔥 with a kind heart.
 
For all of the morose things I talk about, I smile all the time and apparently sound very chipper in phone calls. I laugh easily and genuinely enjoy the company of my friends. I just have a really dark sense of humor verbally and am not afraid to discuss things that make most people deeply uncomfortable.
 
Agree, you don't want to put your lips on glasses that have simply been dunked in a sink to "wash" them

I think people are way too concerned about germs. Germs are everywhere. Our bodies are full of microorganisms, little invaders. It's good for us to be exposed to germs.

I think everybody should go on a week long backpack trip in the wilderness at least once in their lives. You get to experience living dirty for a week. It's good for you.

I prefer liquid drunk from the edge of a glass to drunk through a straw. I think it's more pleasurable that way. Damn the germs.

I have a good sense of humor, but in a sarcastic way so the people who aren't the recipient appreciate it, but rarely the target.

But for the most part I say very little at work that I don't have to, no pictures of my wife, kids or grandkids, I only go to company events if mandatory, and when they have parties in the cafeteria I never attend. Most of the time, when I do say something its because there's a problem so people consider me an asshole just for that reason.

Take that and add a thousand yard stare I still default to if I'm not focused on anything and I've been labeled most likely to be a serial killer.

A woman I've worked with for 25 years once told me "Know how you hear about someone committing a crime or doing something twisted and you think, "Them? I wouldn't have thought that!" You? There's nothing like that I could hear about you that I wouldn't believe."

I thanked her for the compliment.

I don't tell people I write or what I write but this is why I wouldn't be worried if it got out, no one would be surprised.

I just want the option of choosing who's germs I'm sharing, whenever possible.

Also if there are germs on the rim of a glass, they’re probably also in the liquid you’re drinking out of it, by whatever means you’re drinking it.

As far as my own weird thing: I still listen to albums from beginning to end.

I would absolutely believe that about you, lol.

My uncle once told me, "If you were ever accused of a violent crime, I would have to pause before reacting because I would be torn between, 'Yeah, that makes sense' and 'Not a fucking chance she would hurt someone!' and I genuinely wouldn't know which reaction I could trust. That fucking scares me. No one else I know can get both of those reactions out of me."
 
I've worked in a warehouse for over half my life, on the floor doing the work. My formal education stopped a year and a half into college and it may not sound weird here on Lit most people who meet me are surprised that poetry is my first literary love; if they find out. It seems @lovecraft68 and I have a few things in common.

For someone who has been rage writing for 17 years, this totally tracks.
 
I get giddy when the power goes out, and I often fantasize about society collapsing and returning us to the 1800s.

The vast majority (Like easily over 95 percent) of all conversations I've ever had were in my head.

When someone repeatedly snorts their snot back up into their head instead of blowing their nose, I fantasize about all the fun ways I could murder them. And I hate it so much that I've cut multiple friends and family members out of my life just to avoid being around it.
